Sony will refund your game, but on one condition

The Last of Us 2 got its PS5 version and it splits. But some fans jumped into it a little too quickly and we lost money. Fortunately, Sony had a great idea.

The remastered version of The Last of Us 2 is finally available on PS5, and it’s clearly not a hit. The reason? Many players complain that the point of such a version is not seen when the game is quite recent, even though it is only available on PS4 so far and without native optimization. Naughty Dog also responded to the criticism. For our part, we have left its original note, in particular we must not forget one thing: even though the game is available in physical and digital version on PS5, the PS5 version is also available as an update. Day for owners of the PS4 version of the game, something that many people apparently forgot or didn’t know about.

We’re not going to lie, stories of PS5 patches, free or reduced price updates, it’s hell. The methods we use almost all the time since the release of “new generation” consoles in late 2020. Mix brushes clearly.

The Last of Us 2 Refund on PS5

That’s what happened to thousands of players with The Last of Us 2 on PS5. Many fans thought their game was coming back in a brand new version, but unlike The Last of Us Part 1, which was a remake redesigned from A to Z, TLOU 2 PS5 finally only benefits from a major update. Content in the graphic day process with little. An update that only costs €10 as long as you have the game on PS4.

But there you have it, with some mix-ups, somewhat average communication and a drop in visibility on the PlayStation Store, we know fans bought the full-priced PS5 version despite owning the original game. To solve the problem, Sony intervened. Some users received a message telling them they had been refunded before being redirected to a page allowing them to purchase the update for €10.

Be careful when shopping!

A nice gesture, we can’t say the opposite, but it also proves that there is a real problem with the studio and the promotion on PlayStation and PS Store.

For example, it is surprising to see that we have no warning when we want to checkout in this type of case, or when we are going to buy a compilation of games when we already own them. Warnings that can prevent users from making mistakes that can quickly cost an arm and a leg.

Please note that The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered is available on PS5 and costs around fifty euros. But if you own the game on PS4, updating it will only cost you €10. In addition to graphical improvements and bonuses, you will also be able to recover your saves and your trophies.
